I'm not blaming Bethlehem Steel, I'm saying your reasoning is uninformed.
My reasoning is uninformed? Hahahaha! That's good!

Low union membership is completely un-connected to what you're talking about. That's ridiculous and absurd.

Unions CANNOT "create" profitability in a non-profitable company. In fact, they do just the opposite in most cases. Though unions were once useful, they've now become (basically) parasites that are literally forcing companies out of the country.

Union bosses look out for THEMSELVES, first and foremest. They're no different from greedy CEOs.

You're oversimplifying the problem and pegging it on convenient (albeit totally incorrect) scapegoats.
